This AKC English Mastiff is Maxi. She is 3 years-old and weighs about 160 pounds. The owner of Maxi passed away unexpectedly in June. Maxi has been a very pampered girl and will require an inside/outside home. She needs a fenced yard to romp and play. Maxi loves water so a sprinkler would be a “nice to have toy” at her new home. She is a very big baby.

Maxi has been spayed, micro-chipped, is current on Trifexis and up-to-date on all vaccines. She would be a great companion for another large dog but does not like yappy “ foo foo ” dogs.

Maxi will be at the PetSmart from 6 to 9 tonight and noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, 3698 E. Franklin Blvd., Gastonia. Tri-County Animal Rescue will have many other pets for adoption this weekend.

UPDATE – 22 pets were adopted last weekend. All three Jack Russell Terrier pups were adopted. Thank you all for your support
